Sweet Pea

Domestic Short Hair

Philadelphia, PA

Name: Sweet Pea Age: 9-16 months Reason for surrender: Stray Animal ID#: A32066821 Sweet Pea is a beautiful young Calico who loves being part of a household again. She was found as stray after her former owner discarded her, and she has since been enjoying her time indoors, first in a foster home then in shelter when she did not enjoy her foster's other cats. Her fosters love her sweet nature, pretty green eyes, and fluffy ¾-length tail (even though she’d rather not talk about it.) Vet estimates say she’s between 9 – 16 months. Sweet Pea would do best in a cat-free household with kitty parents who respect her independent nature and will provide a safe presence when she wants affection. If you are patient in gaining her trust and showing that you’re not going to hurt her, she’ll bond with you for good. Complete Sweet Pea’s Cinderella story by giving her the home that her little heart desires! Likes: Head scratches, paper bags, calm spaces, laid-back kitty companions Dislikes: Loud noises, aggressive play, tail touching, surprises Current location: Sweet Pea is in foster care! Email her foster mom at sibelodabasyigit@gmail.com for more information about her. www.phillypaws.org (updated AW 8/19/16)
